Mathew Broderick plays Clark Kellogg, a first-year film college student in New York who has his luggage stolen by a small-time crook. This leads him to importer/exporter Carmine Sabatini(Marlon Brando) who looks uncannily like a certain Godfather Don from a 1972 film... Carmine uses this to enlist Clark into his employment, involving transporting some slippery Komodo Dragons(!) and then helping out in a fancy restaurant, where an elaborate plan to fool Carmine's enemies is to be played out.
Clever comedy has an appealing cast and a very knowing sense of humor regarding Marlon Brando(playing Sabatini) being recognized as resembling that "actor" who starred in that famous mafia movie, and using it to his advantage. Otherwise this film is rather slight, but still quite funny.
